what todd said.
I was just happy the car finally hooked.
and i'm out gunned so I just do it for funny and to see some good friends.
And sometimes thats what it's all about. We all start somewhere and you have a nice fast car to bracket race but to step into 10.5 and be at the bottom is your start to the top!!!
So, let me make sure I got this right? An average Joe,takes his Dad to a race at a beautiful track. The two have fun, the driver is having a blast,the crowd is loving it and as a family, they and they' re friends enjoy the weekend together???...Did i get that right? Ok..i think so.
Ok, so, they could give a rats behind about payout, entry fee and drama. Along the way they make some new friends, get some help, and once again get time together as proud father, and proud son. Still ok?...seems so. Ok, they get outgunned, they lose anyway, and still have the times of t
heir lives. Seems like a good ole fashion Father and son weekend, old style drag racing, and no politics whatsoever. Seems perhaps a lesson could be taken from this story 
Its sad to me that people can find the negative in this story.
Todd its GREAT that a family gets to go to the track and race together. I have one son that races and one son that goes to the track once every 2 to 3 years to watch. My comment was aimed at the Mopar mentality of doing wheelies. Even to the point of wrecking, breaking, or major oil spills. No one likes waiting in the lanes because of an oil pan hitting the track but if I remember right one Mopar did it 3 times in a row last year at Indy. At PRP the Mopar race was referred to by many of my friends as "the oildown nationals". Get her tamed down and she will go quicker an be easier to drive. 
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Just the fact that Brad comes out to all these 10.5 races, knowing full well he really doesn't stand much of a chance is cool as hell. Then, to top it off your dad get's on a public forum and say how proud he is of you. Man that has to make you feel good. Keep up the good work.

I understand about the wheelies. I have the "perfect" launch right now(about 3" from what I'm told), but I want one of "those" pics of mine,  just for a keepsake.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
